Zarteef a brave mane and he struggle whole life for peoples rights a big loss for community
Deep state and its strategic assets killing liberal forces in pukhtoonkhwa and tribal areas just to create a political vacuum for for religious forces.
Federally Administered is a subtle clue in the name of the tribal area. Her heart is in the right place God Bless her.
You know what the problem is? None is bothered to know about these meaningless creatures on the Pak-Afghan border until they start bothering the royal subjects of the settled area. If this so-called human rights champion of Pakistan, who is a lawyer too, does not know of the authority having jurisdiction over the tribal areas, why would I complain of an ordinary citizen, who has started taking my death tolls as cricket score.
